Mid-Week Poll: Which December 2013 Movies Are You Excited To See?

Along with beaming children, the warm embrace of families, holiday cheer and all that nonsense, the end of the year also brings with it a bunch of big new movie releases. December is traditionally a time when Hollywood rolls out a bunch of potential blockbusters and Oscar hopefuls. Which movies this month do you look forward to watching?

Personally, there’s next to no chance that I’ll get out to a movie theater this month. I’ll have my hands full with other, more pressing concerns. Even if that weren’t the case, however, I have to say that this is probably the least exciting slate of year-end films in recent memory.

That doesn’t necessarily mean that I’m not interested in any of them, though. I’ll always give new films from Martin Scorsese or the Coen brothers the benefit of the doubt. Spike Jonze’s ‘Her’ sounds bizarre and intriguing, and I’ll hold out hope that ‘Anchorman 2′ is a worthy follow-up. I might even be willing to give David O. Russell another chance to win me back over with ‘American Hustle’. Still, there’s not a single one of these movies that I couldn’t wait until Blu-ray to see.

Do you feel differently? Which of these movies excite you? Vote for as many options as you’d like.

William Henley

Last movie I went to (don’t remember what it was off the top of my head) they showed a trailer for Believe….. and I found it strangely interesting. Not interesting enough that I would go see it, but interesting enough that if I were flipping through the channels and landed on it like 5 minutes in not knowing what it was, I might actually end up watching it. It doesn’t look like one of those concert films that have come out over the last several years, but actually a biography. That might be interesting.

What are the odds that Anchorman 2 will be any good? I loved the first one, but the trailers for this just look like the same jokes over again, and Will Ferrell has been on a major losing streak recently.

Pedram

Losing streak how? His last major role was in The Campaign, and I thought he was great in it. The film made over $1000Mil, which while not great should have covered the production budget with room to spare.

He was also decent in The Internship, but he only had a minor role in it.

Gabe Bazurto

I’m not terribly excited for American Hustle (didn’t like The Fighter or Silver Linings Playbook), but my dad wants to see it and a theater here is having a screening next Tuesday so I bought tickets for us. Can’t wait for Wolf Of Wall Street. It’s been an agonizing few months before Christmas to see it. Also interested in Her and Inside Llewyn Davis. Lots of garbage coming out, but I see Lone Survivor made NBR’s top 10, so I’m compelled to see that now. Wouldn’t have otherwise.
